Ryder Cup could be a pot of gold for Scotland in 2014

Scotland could generate five-times the £20m it is paying to host golf's showpiece Ryder Cup in 2014, it has been claimed.
A Scottish government delegation is in Chicago for this year's event, to promote sport, trade and culture ahead of the 2014 contest at Gleneagles.

The efforts are aimed at attracting as many golf fans to Scotland as possible.

Sport Minister Shona Robison said the overall economic boost from the Ryder Cup could top £100m.

With the Commonwealth Games being held in Glasgow in 2014 as well, it promises to be one of the most memorable and hopefully proftable years for Scottish sport.
